F1 2013 - Car Launches

Lets hope they look better this year thanks to this rule:

 

The revised rules, just published by Formula One racing’s governing body, give details of the ‘modesty panels,’ which can be used to smooth the transition between the low nose and the high chassis. The fairings will not affect the car’s impact-protection properties and teams will not be able to modify them to gain an aerodynamic advantage.

Article 3.7.9 of the 2013 technical regulations refers to the new panels as “an optional, single piece, non-structural fairing of prescribed laminate (whose precise lay-up may be found in the Appendix to the regulations) which may not be more than 625mm above the reference plane at any point.â€

 

Here are the launch dates:

 

McLaren - January 31st, Woking.
Force India - February 1st, Silverstone.
Ferrari - February 1st, Maranello.
Sauber - February 2nd, Hinwil.
Red Bull, February 3rd, Milton Keynes.
Mercedes, February 4th, Jerez.
Toro Rosso, February 4th, Jerez.
Caterham, February 5th, Jerez.
Williams, February 19th, Barcelona.

The new lotus... Looks awesome! attachicon.gifuploadfromtaptalk1359404851992.jpg

 

I was hoping they were going to get rid of the stepped nose... but what they said made sense really... it adds a couple of grams with no aerodynamic benefit... think we are going to see these feature on most of the 2013... unfortunately
